rb25det option seconded

 

[Kevin Lee]

you know, it would be so helpful if you guys would talk about our zerotohundred project, to whomever you see during the next workshop visit. if you see random people talking about cars, u should tell them about our project and workshops that actually look at our project would gladly help us finance the project. i realised getting sponsors to help you in malaysia is not as easy as those in the west. most people here are rather frugal with their spendings! so its really hard to push them to get any forms of sponsorship

 

[DanzEterna]

i agree kevin, quite hard to get sponsors..... if there are members here that owns a workshop ok la......unless we forumers donate should at least help to fund your project...

 

[bangkai_jk]

RB25DE 6 throttles 12.5 high compression with super high cam!! shouldnt be a problem for 300hp :D

or rojak with RB30 block to be the most powerful NA RB in Malaysia!

btw Klevin, do you mind to give me the details of Playhouse Garage? need to pay a visit for them :)

 

[tksu]

may i suggest that you start a blog for this project, where you can list down the sponsors & they will get the publicity if your sponsors are workshops & etc.. or you already have a blog for this project?

actually, edison approached me for labour sponsorship, would be pretty useful

im still negotiating with the engine and tranny sponsorship. once that is done, id give them my old red top rb20 and let them do whatever they want with it.

ive already forked out my own money for the following, lol!

rm600 towing from batu pahat to kl
rm300 misc. fix including new battery, fuel pump, fuel tank fix, etc
rm150 new nissan key and ignition by locksmith

donated the following:
rm400 nardi steering limited edition steering wheel

at this stage, any donation is welcomed, even used rims, lol! i guess we have to show the world and build a speedhunters.com worthy project

basically, were still looking for sponsors, once it is confirmed, we will have the sponsors sticker stuck to the car body and be driven to and around zth events, such as tta and etc

but yes, having the project on the "features" front portal is as good as a blog. plus were on a familiar URL, im sure thats gonna have a good exposure on things

[Kevin Lee]

[Hsin Yeow]

VH45 !! twin turbo:top::top:

 

[Kevin Lee]

dont have any money man, lol. ive just asked about the rb30, it costs about rm1600 with custom forms, haha, should we start a donation box now?

 

[savahn]

well the current engine would incur about rm800 worth of rrepair, thats 1/3 of the cost of a rb25det half cut, so better off get a new half cut? considering if theres a confirmation, the candidate sponsor will help transplant for free.

maybe i should create a pool for u guys to chip in some money to get this going. just a suggestion. let's make this the best thing ever happened to malaysia. speedhunters worthy article!

I wouldn't spend money on a half-cut - you won't know what you're going to get. Whenever possible, whichever option, break it down and overhaul it. Port and polish everything inside out, inspect everything inside-out and re-assemble it with care. THEN you will know with confidence that it's going to work.

A little change here and there goes a long way. But do decide what you want to do first. I'm still not clear about the end result you are shooting for - it's a "project car" but what kind? Show car? Drift/circuit car? Got a power target?

 

[Ratbit]

..if u want to build a legendary "devil-z" 2nd gen.
you need to install a L28 (L2800) engine, bored and stroked to 3.1 L and fitted with twin turbos.

well, the half cut needs to be taken out and disassembled, thats for sure. I'm sure the regular RB30 N/A is much to shout. I'm sure the pairing of a twin cam RB25 to a RB30 would produce results, so when you are actually taking it out and meshing both, you'd see the problems ten.

Anyways, here's the wanted end result. It's mainly a circuit car, with a least some looks to it. Won't be a top end Autosalon car, but wouldn't mind it, if someone's sponsoring. Power target? RB25's go easily to the 400hp range, so were aiming at that.

did u watched the whole wangan midnight series? the z31 was akio's first car, then he swapped to the l31 powered 240z. his opponent, harada, has a white z31 with a vg30det engine. the vg engine is a very very good engine, just spare parts are scarce here in malaysia compared to usa. it can definitely hit 300+kmh, no problems!

I think Kev is going to open the engine up and overhaul it when he gets the '30 block lar. Since when is Kev halfassed?

And dude didnt you read the first thread? Aim: Supercar killer with decent looks.

However there are budgets, you wanna overhaul the engine for us? And sponsor the port & polishing so we all can have confidence its gonna work?

 

[Kevin Lee]

well thanks for having the confidence in me , LWW, i am just not confident with the sponsors, lol. will they ever sponsor, god knows! so lets hope and pray, else maybe i have to ask u guys out for tt and i have to give a nice speech about an rb30 donation box, seriously!

what engine is the original engine ?
2.0 L VG20ET V6 or 2.0 L RB20DET I6

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_300ZX#Z31


if it is RB20DET, save the original engine is always an option to consider, the sentimental value is always there. the "sentimental value" is very strong if you know what i am talking about.

also, i think RB20 part easy available.

if it is original 2.0 L VG20ET V6, i suggest to find an original halfcut RB20DET to fit in. then upgrade from there.

so how much do RB20DET can push out on stock internal?
